2. Countdown
Monday, January 02, 2006 10:08 PM When I saw the footage of the throngs, zounds and legions of partygoers yelling and flailing so vigourously on the news, I was glad that I was not out there at that moment. I was not sure I would've been able to release one whole year's worth of expression of celebration into that one split second of yelling and flailing. I would've been quite miserable in fact. And to top that, I'd had have be happy. However, I was miserable nevertheless, because I was trying to fall asleep after reaching home from Janise's Birthday party just past eleven because of the abovementioned trip, and I was not doing it very well. I had a Happy New Year sms at about eleven thirty, another few Happy New Years slightly after 12 midnight, and a phone call at about twelve twenty from my mother asking if I was still outside and if I wanted a lift home. Then there were those expensive noises coming from the central district (near where I lived) at exactly twelve midnight. All of which jolted me from my bed just as I was about to enter the peaceful borders slumberland. Well, then again, I guess all this misery is only going to happen once every year. I'll have to remember to off my handphone next year, and perhaps, sleep earlier if I have to.
